I could submit any of a number of essays which I've already written. Would you have any interest in my recent manifesto regarding ethics education, particularly in Business Schools and in Social Sciences geneerally. I could actually use some feedback on it.

I also considered my much shorter deconstructivist look at Oedipus Rex, if you'd prefer that.

I'm talking about what to send with my application to the Brain Trust, btw. I know you're not a mind-reader.

It's raining here in the A, and I got too much sun this weekend (one last hurrah on the beach) so I'm hecka itchy. I don't sunburn very easily, but apparently I do still require sunscreen if I'm going to lay out for multiple hours. In other news, I am an idiot. I got to swim in... Read More

Massive number of messages to respond to, things to write, adventures to have. Sorry if your message is one I have yet to reply to! Basically, when I unarchived, I got a huge number of messages, and I'm trying to respond to each one, and it's taking FOREVER.

if you need to recruit a crew for Operation Pipi Puppy Raid, I can be your wheelman/ explosives guy. though I think to be a proper explosives guy I have to grow out a beard and wear a tuque. both of which may put me out of uniform regulations...so I'll need a week or so advance notice...

Some of you will appreciate that the new running joke among multiple groups of friends is that my life is an elaborate falsehood crafted around the pivotal supposition that I am lying about having read Finnegans Wake.

No, I don't know how that works, either.

Anyway, I had a luscious grassfed beef heart for dinner last night from my local CSA, which I shared... Read More

I asked Multivac about this one and it came up with two helpful, practical hints...
1. Eat really, very, exceedingly large quantities of double-chocolate gateaux with extra whipped cream, clotted cream, custard, chopped almonds and hot fudge sauce and repeat dose every 3 hours - Multivac estimates a high probability that this course of action will afford you adequate room on your arms (and pretty much everywhere else) but may have other unexpected consequences
2. Get a T-Shirt made with Minoan "Ladies in Blue" fresco design
I appreciate that these suggestions may not be great. Indeed, in need of a second opinion, I asked FUCKUP but it simply made lots of whirring and fizzing noises followed by a strong smell of ozone at which point the blasted contraption spat out Hexagram 23 (almost taking my friggin eye out in the process) and subsequently refused to answer any other questions all day. Honestly, FUCKUP may be faster than Multivac but it seriously needs to get those Asimov circuits fixed, either that or get on one of those e-Learning Customer Service courses. Take it from me, if some guy with a Captain Nemo tattoo on his right hand hops out of a gilded submarine (with furry dice hanging from the periscope and a souped up turbo engine that sprays water everywhere) and offers to sell you a "slightly used state of the art supercomputer" just turn around call the coastguard because it just isn't worth the hassle and the friggin IT Helpline just goes straight to 'on hold' music (sounds like some kind of new age hippy tape of dolphin noises played on a loop interspersed with the occasional mad pirate cackling sound).
